Leaders in the new story

Leaders who live in the new story help us understand ourselves differently by the way they lead. They trust our humanness, they welcome the surprises we bring to them; they are curious about our differences; they delight in our inventiveness; they nurture us; they connect us. They trust that we can create wisely and well, that we seek the best interests of our organisation and our community, that we want to bring more good into the world.

… What we ask of the tellers of the new story is their voice and their courage. We do not need them to create a massive training programme, a global approach, a dramatic style. We only need them to speak to us when we are with them. we need them to break their silence and share their ideas of the world as they have come to know it.

David, it what I am trying to figure out about the virtual world. What leads to building community resembles what we do face-to-face. It is the appreciation and validation of each person we meet along the path.

about #cLectio

#cLectio is short for Common Lectionary. A group of us use the hashtag to tweet a reflection from the Old Testament scripture set in the Common Lectionary for our Morning Prayer. (Please feel free to tweet along with us.)
